A delicious semi-homemade bread packed full of cranberries & apples that will be perfect for your Holidays! And no one will ever guess it’s made from a box mix!

I think probably one of the best things about the Holiday season is the baking! Thanksgiving & Christmas give me an unlimited excuse to bake any & every thing! But y’all know that I like to make things as easy as possible when I’m cooking so finding a boxed mix that gives me delicious bread filled with fresh cranberries and apples makes me so very happy!

So you are probably now wondering what magical box bread mix I have fallen in love with aren’t you? Well it’s non other than Concord Foods Cranberry Bread Mix! The best thing about the mix is all it takes is an egg, some water & fresh Ocean Spray® Fresh Cranberries and in less than one hour you’ve got some warm bread coming out of the oven! The bread has just a perfect hint of orange to complement the zest of the cranberries and seriously is just perfect for the Holidays!

The bread is honestly best with fresh cranberries but you can also use the Ocean Spray Craisins– just soak the Craisins for about 20 minutes. You’ve got to hurry and get your bread though, the Concord Food Cranberry Bread Mix is only available during the cranberry harvest season {or until Dec 31} 🙂

Wishing you had some of the Cranberry Bread Mix right now?? Well, no worries – I’ve got you covered!! I’ve got a cranberry packed giveaway to make your Holiday meal perfect! Up for grabs is a box of the Concord Foods Cranberry Bread Mix, a bag Ocean Spray Craisins! But I also want to make sure you have something to make the Cranberry Bread in so we’ll go ahead and throw in a brand new Calphalon Loaf Pan! So check out the Cranberry Apple Bread with Almond Streusel recipe & then get entered in the giveaway after!

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan. Mix the contents of the bread mix pouch with the water and the egg by hand until the batter is smooth {about a minute or two}

Fold the chopped cranberries and diced apples into the batter

Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the butter, flour, brown sugar, almonds, cinnamon and Craisins. Blend together using a fork {or a fancy kitchen tool if you have one ;)} until mixed and crumbly. Sprinkle streusel on top of the batter.

Bake the bread for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes; then loosen the edges and remove the bread from the pan.
